Hi Epochians,
I've posted bit of an update on our coming soon page at our website but thought I'd re-post it right here:
April 14th 2016: An Update While on the customer side of all things Mutant Epoch, its been quiet. On the creative side, however, there has been a ton of progress done on Expansion Rules Book, A quick start free version of the hub rules (with a One Day Dig called Muddy Mayhem), and our next One Day Dig called The Ascension. For the most part, however, I have been working obsessively on the Mutant Epoch Novel series.
This game, you should know, is based on these mature novels and basically what we are doing is a re-write with added scenes and updating to reflect more of the world as seen in the role-playing game. Once the final draft is completed the whole series will be shipped to the editor(s) and first readers). It might be a year before the edits come back and are inserted, in that time, while I am waiting for the manuscripts to be returned I will be doing the art for the Expansion Rules book and other TME goodies we have on the go.
Kindest Regards,
W. McAusland

Also, just about to put the next One Day Dig into the layout. The Ascent is going to be something a little different and I think you'll really like it. Its written by Timothy Berriault. Once its in the layout, I can start the inking and cover phase. I'm dying to get back to doing some TME art. My drawing table is clear now after a bout of work on some Fantasy Clip Inks (spot art set 7) that I've been picking away at.
As some of you may know, in December 2015 I lost my main computer and have still not rebuilt an effective work station and been doing everything on a laptop. I backed everything up, of course, but the pathways between image files and fonts and everything else involved in a book has been broken and am faced with weeks of relinking things and getting it all back into place so I can find stuff. Its been tough and given the choice between doing administration chores and content creation, I pick creation every time.
Hope to spend more time here on the forums now, too.
Happy Gaming,
Will
PS. For those of you on twitter (where I seem to have the best luck in social media) I have been posting a Daily Image from our published books. Feel free to share. twitter.com/mutantlord
